Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Study on the Seismic Response of a Water-Conveyance Tunnel Considering Non-Uniform Longitudinal Subsurface Geometry and Obliquely Incident SV-Waves

Applied Sciences
The longitudinal seismic response characteristics of a shallow-buried water-conveyance tunnel under non-uniform longitudinal subsurface geometry and obliquely incident SV-waves was studied using the numerical method, where the effect of the non-uniform ...

The Terwilliger Algebra of the Incidence Graphs of Johnson Geometry [PDF]

The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2013
In 2007, Levstein and Maldonado  computed the Terwilliger algebra of the Johnson graph $J(n,m)$ when $3m\leq n$. It is well known that the halved graphs of the incidence graph $J(n,m,m+1)$ of Johnson geometry are Johnson graphs. In this paper, we determine the Terwilliger algebra of $J(n,m,m+1)$ when $3m\leq n$, give two bases of this algebra, and ...

OPTIMIZING TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING MEASUREMENT SET-UP [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012
One of the main applications of the terrestrial laser scanner is the visualization, modeling and monitoring of man-made structures like buildings. Especially surveying applications require on one hand a quickly obtainable, high resolution point cloud but

Two cryptomorphic formalizations of projective incidence geometry [PDF]

Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 2018
The authors formalize two different projective geometry axiomatic systems in Coq, describing the first in classical terms and the second in terms of rank from matroid theory. They prove the equivalence of these two systems in two and three dimensions. The significance of this result is that it allows for further automation for the proofs of projective ...

A Practical Noise2Noise Denoising Pipeline for High‐Throughput Raman Spectroscopy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A lightweight and reproducible denoising pipeline for high‐throughput Raman spectroscopy is introduced, based on a 1D convolutional autoencoder trained with a Noise2Noise strategy. Using only repeated short‐exposure acquisitions, the method suppresses stochastic noise without reference spectra, enabling reliable spectral reconstruction while preserving

New AI‐Assisted Approach for Expanding the Solution Space: Application to Lattice Structure Design

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces an innovative framework for designing structured materials by ex panding the design space through reparameterization of qualitative variables into continuous structural descriptors. Combined with machine‐learning‐based prediction and multi‐objective optimization, the approach enables the discovery of novel lattice architectures ...
